At some point in the distant past, the Black Rose became the watering hole of choice for the Yale football team and its fans after the biannual away game at Harvard. If nothing else, it's the antithesis of a Harvard bar. Well, except for the women.

But on the other 729 days of the biennium, the Black Rose is a fun after work bar which frequently features traditional Irish music. It's often one of my first stops when I get off the plane at Logan.
